“We need to take a
less narrow look at our children’s problems and, instead, see them as windows
of opportunity—a way of exploring and understanding all facets of our
children’s development. If we can understand the underlying developmental
process, we can see a child’s struggles as signs of striving toward growth
instead of chronic problems or attempts to aggravate adults.”
— Stanley
Greenspan, Playground Politics
“If you do a little bit of looking at books with your
children and inspire them to be curious about the pictures and ... what the
word means, but don't get into very structured systematic teaching at too early
an age, ... and you also interact emotionally and have fun with pretend play
... then you have the best of both worlds.”
— Stanley
Greenspan

in passion to make a real contribution in the world and to fix all the

“It is not all about you, you got to take your ego out of
it, you have to think what is going to best to help this child transition to
what is next.” – Renatta M. Cooper
Rachel,
ReplyDeleteStanley Greenspan, what a great quote. "Best of both worlds" with books and play, I too hope for the use of books and play for all children. In my class I try to send that message home with a weekly lending library book and a take home activity which sometimes includes collage materials, providing my children with open ended activities they can engage in with their families. Thanks for sharing the quote.
My motto at my child care program is learning is fun and fun is learning. This belief certainly coincides with Dr.Greenspan works.
DeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteI like how you posted the photos of the individuals you picked; it was a nice touch. Also, I like Dr. Derman-Spark's quote as well. Somehow, what she said summarizes what I feel about helping others and making society a better place for all. When we all work together in the area's were are passionate about, we are doing are part to fix all of the injustice in the world. Thank you for sharing. Andrea
